POMEGRANITE - Which myth would they relate to most?

JAM - Can they cook?

CANDY - Do they have a sweet tooth?

Thank you for the ask, @zackprincebooks!

I'll go with some of the cast of Supernova Initiative, namely Jack Tithus, Kye Thalax and Deimos Soll!

POMEGRANATE - Which myth would they relate to the most?

Jack Tithus - Prometheus

"[...] One day, Zeus distributed gifts to all the gods, but he didn't care much for humans. The Titan Prometheus, however, because he loved and felt sorry for humans, climbed up on Olympus and stole the fire from Hephaestus' workshop, put it in a hollow reed, and gifted it to the humans. This way, humans could create fire, warm up, and make tools. Zeus became very angry when he heard about this. He took Prometheus to a high mountain, the Caucasus, and chained him on a rock with thick chains made by the smith god, Hephaestus. And every day, Zeus would send an eagle that ate Prometheus’ liver. For thirty years Prometheus remained bound in the Caucasus, until the great hero Hercules, Zeus’ demigod son, released him finally from his torment. [...]"

Kye Thalax - Icarus

"[...] The labyrinth in King Mino’s palace was designed by a famous inventor and engineer, Daedalus. It is said that Athena herself taught Daedalus. King Minos commissioned to Daedalus and his son Icarus the construction of the labyrinth that would held the monster Minotaur. After finishing their work, King Minos imprisoned father and son inside the labyrinth, in an effort to prevent knowledge of his labyrinth from spreading to the public. Father and son were thinking hard on how to escape until Daedalus came up with an idea. They gathered a lot of feathers from birds and glued them together with wax thus, making four large wings. They tied the wings to each shoulder and fled from the island of Crete. Daedalus had warned Icarus not to fly close to the sun because the wax would melt. After passing the island of Delos, the boy, forgetting himself, flew high towards the sun. The hot sun softened the wax that held the feathers together and Icarus fell in the sea and drowned. Daedalus named the place where his son fell Icaria, in his memory. [...]"

Deimos Soll - Pandora's Box

"[...] After Prometheus gave the fire to humans, Zeus decided to take vengeance. He ordered Hephaestus to create the first human woman out of soil and water. Each god gave the woman a gift: Athena gave her wisdom, Aphrodite beauty, Hermes cunning, and so on. The name of the woman was Pandora (meaning “all gifts” in Greek). Zeus gave Pandora a jar, warning her not to open it under any circumstances, and sent her to Prometheus’ brother, Epimetheus. Prometheus had warned his brother not to accept any gifts from Zeus. However, Epimetheus accepted Pandora who, although tried hard to resist the temptation, opened the jar and released all evils upon the world. Hatred, war, death, hunger, sickness, and all the disasters were immediately released. [...]"

JAM - Can they cook?

Jack - Yes, he can! And quite well at that! Though - as I usually say - his usual (and favorite) dish consists of basically the space version of dino nuggets with hot chocolate lmao. He knows how to cook because he has been his little sister's guardian for years now, and so he had to learn how to properly look after her, and that includes preparing food.

Kye - I'm not sure lol. Since he is good at survival, I would assume that he knows how to prepare a dish or two for himself, but I can't say if it would be tasty or not lmao.

Deimos - He knows, especially the basics, and his dishes are quite decent. But he does remark that he is nowhere near as good at it as Jack, and quite honestly, Deimos is right lol. Still, his dishes aren't bad, they're just average. And he's fine with it, to be honest!

CANDY - Do they have a sweet tooth?

Jack - YES. Yes, he does. His favorite beverage, to this day, is hot chocolate, for a reason after all. He also loves candy and all kinds of desserts. Since sweet things were quite expensive in the moon where he grew up - and he was a street urchin who rarely had enough money to stay alive - desserts and candy were rare, sweet treats that he grew to adore whenever he got the rare chance to have some. And now that he is a rich intergalactic thief, he can have all the candy that he wants!

Kye - Hates sweets, but mostly because they remind him of someone from his past (who loved desserts) that he couldn't save. Because of it, candies and desserts kinda became something he associates with sadness, so he kinda just avoids those so as not to feel the emotional whiplash.

Deimos - Eh. I mean, he likes sweets, but he doesn't like eating sweet things all the time. An occasional bag of candies or a platter of cookies? Sure he loves those, in moderation. But if it is too sweet it makes his stomach turn. He prefers a milder amount of sugar.

9. 🔥 CANDLE: Describe the main conflict in your WIP.

Thank you so much for the ask, @kaylinalexanderbooks! I'll go with Supernova Initiative, and Scrapyard Boys!

SUPERNOVA INITIATIVE (genre: sci-fi/space opera) In a distant galaxy ruled by a pseudo-utopic governmental regime (which is actually much more dystopic than anything behind the scenes), a young intergalactic thief and his crew end up captured and forced to carry out a heist for the government that they were rebelling against.

While that main conflict is going on, there are also a few important background conflicts/subplots such as :

Jack Tithus, the leader of the crew, ends up forced to become a test subject to the sadistic and highly immoral Director, a scientist who is the head of the Junction's bioengineering and sciences department. Jack struggles to keep this deal a secret from the others while enduring torturous experiments, while also trying to successfully help the team carry out what is quite possibly the most dangerous heist of their lives.

Deimos Soll, Jack's adoptive brother and estranged best friend, grapples with feelings of guilt over the events that led him to leave the crew some years prior - after which he was kidnapped by a mad warlord, escaped, and was forced to make a deal to frame/set-up the crew in exchange for protection against his pursuer. He struggles between the wish to keep himself safe/have revenge on his former captor, and the need to make things right with his siblings.

Kye Thalax, Artemis's former childhood friend turned rival, searches for a way to undermine the Khosmonians as a personal way to get revenge on his absent mother, who betrayed his father and left him to die over a political cause. His morality is tested, however, when he realizes that he wants to keep his newfound 'found family' safe, and that he'll have to find a way to win this war against his corrupted mother without losing the friends he cares for so deeply.

etc

SCRAPYARD BOYS: (genre: superhero, cyberpunk dystopia) A spinoff to my other WIP Mutant Inquiries, set in the same world, during practically the same time period, this WIP follows the story of a troubled youth named Valen, who runs away from the government before he can be sent to a superhuman training institution after the suspicious death of his beloved mother, a journalist who tried to expose the criminal schemes of the city's high and mighty. In the lower streets of the dangerous, crime-ridden city, Valen meets a group of other orphans, runaways, and overall misfits who become like family to him, and as he grows into a brash teenager, unafraid to start and win fights to get what he wants, Valen and his friends start investigating the secrets behind the city's superhuman elite, and the horrific truth the city's government wanted to hide. Honoring his mother's legacy, Valen intends to bring this system crashing down.

Gabi Ophyria - In her first scene, which also happens to be the most recent scene I have of her, she is wearing a black bomber jacket with multicolored, neon ornaments, leather boots, multiple bracelets of different colors, fingerless dark grey leather gloves, white jeans and a long sleeved shirt.
